although i don't think mitt romney started out as a flawed candidate. i think mark's point is incredibly relevant. campaigns today, joe and mika, focus on winning the day, winning the day. president obama says bump in the road. get all excite and push "bump in the road" and it distracts them from what ought to be the overall message. the media drives that. they don't have to react to the media. if i was running for president, i'd stay on course. all the romney campaign seems to be doing is reacting to the theme of the day. >> if you look inside the numbers, "the new york times" poll and "the washington post" poll, people in the state of ohio, now people in florida, too, by a majority are saying the economy's getting better, i trust president obama now to lead the economy. this is man who's up against huge unemployment numbers. you can rattle through all the economic data that should not be good for president obama. yet in the three or four states that matter, the tide is switching i thought florida, nine points, is the most shocking. >> florida 9 points

both campaigns think this one is getting more difficult by the moment for mitt romney to win. however -- and this is where it gets fascinating -- in virginia, the president's lead has shrunk to just two points, within the margin of error. last month president obama led by five points there. in florida, mitt romney has closed the gap as well. he's now statistically tied in the state of florida. it is a one-point lead. 47%-46%. al hunt, it is fascinating. ohio seems to be on its own as far as the swing states go. but we could show other swing state polls in colorado, in nevada, in north carolina. these states are really getting tight, to such a degree that a great performance by romney tonight could change the dynamic. >> conceivably, but i don't think it's quite that close yet. i think you certainly see it, as you point out, in florida and virginia. you don't see it in ohio. wisconsin it looks like it's actually widening. iowa, it's four to six. and the problem by taking michigan and pennsylvania off the table, which really the romney people have done despite his appearance in
